Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go. Joshua 1:9 NIV

It isn’t a suggestion. It isn’t something that God recommends for us to do and it is up to us. God commands us to realize that He is with us at all times and in all situations and because He is with us and brings along all of His strength and power, we need not be scared or insecure.

Lord, thank you that even when I feel alone, you are always with me and bring all of your characteristics with you for my benefit.
